It's finally done...
Took almost two years to complete this game project 😱

Thank you to everyone who has supported me from the beginning till the end! I LOVE YOU!

What a cute sprite! 🥰

ilumianSoft @ilmania.bsky.social · 3d

I think I need some references, as I've never made a turn-based game in RPG Maker 🤔

If you have a favorite turn-based game made in RPG Maker, do share it so I can learn from it ❤️

ilumianSoft @ilmania.bsky.social · 5d

aight, maybe I need to start searching for some free turn based battle plugin, thanks for the input! 😀

ilumianSoft @ilmania.bsky.social · 5d

So...What kind of battle system should I use for my new project? 🤔
I'd like to use LMBS again, but I'm also tempted to go with default turn-based system since I've never done one before...

He's Giota by the way, the new protagonist! 🎉

Do you know what happens when you finally finish your project?
Yes, you start a new project. 😂

This is Viela, she might be the heroine for my next game project, who knows?

This is pretty normal, trust me!
Everyone tend to dream very big on their first project 😂 (me too of course!)

ilumianSoft @ilmania.bsky.social · 17d

T-that's some dedication!
6 years is no joke...how can you keep consistent with one project for that long?

ilumianSoft @ilmania.bsky.social · 17d

It's okay! Everyone always start BIG with their first project! Trust me! 😂

ilumianSoft @ilmania.bsky.social · 17d

I do have a little experience with MV
Hit me up if you have any question (though because I didn't realy active in this platform, it'll be long before I can reply to any of your chat 😅)

100 PARALAX MAP?
Dang bro...you're amazing (I hate mapping, more so if it's paralax 😂)

Be proud! That one BIG step not many have courage to take!

ilumianSoft @ilmania.bsky.social · 27d

And this was the last feature I can think off.
So it's safe to say I'm finished my project, right?
...No, you're not, there's bug hunting await after all 😭

shift the character portrait down a little (to hide that the portrait didn't have a limb 🤣) and it'll perfect!

ilumianSoft @ilmania.bsky.social · Sep 5

New dungeon!
Making a lot of a new mechanic here (which is pain).

This week, I'm finished a little part of the capital.
(Nope, not gonna add more to it, that's all for the capital 🤣)

Next, maybe I'll start making a dungeon...

Now that the village done, let's move to the outside!
Planning to make puzzle dungeon, a new town, an empty land that you can populate and many more!
(...Hope I can do all that🥺)

My friend told me that I should dump all my progress on the game I'm making here instead of filling up the chats in the whatsapp group. So... yeah, thus this server was born. 😅 | 5 members

(No, the game isn't finished yet, but at least it's playable, haha)

More cutscene!
Just a little more, and I can move on from FIDDLING WITH NPC (I'm tired, didn't know that making NPC could be this tiring)

After this, I think I'll start making map outside the village!
